Do you still have the generator end? I believe I could use it, but I won't know until tomorrow afternoon. I can have someone come and pick it up as well. I will try to send you a PM.
Thanks,
Mike

Yes I do. Let me know.

If compression is low, it could be rusty valves or stuck rings. Not a difficult repair for either. There is a good argument to fix it and sell as a running unit. With new elec end, probably would fetch like $3k on the open market.

SKI was right on the money as usual. The piston rings were seized to the pistons with carbon. Looked like a 1950s outboard run on motor oil mix. In fact, the piston tops had about a nickels thickness of carbon on top in spite of my best efforts to always keep it loaded. Also forgot to take pictures.
Anyway, the new Phasor runs like a champ! Very nice package.

That was the same problem I had with mine last year, it had 1400+ hours. It ran fine right up to the time it wouldn’t start, pulled it out and rebuilt and in the boat in time to winterize.

Just curious, how many hours were on that engine? I have to wonder how long before I have that issue since my 8BT is never really loaded to anywhere near its maximum.

What size? My 12K has died, but the 4 cyl diesel is running great.

8 BTD, 8 kw.
Don't know if it would bolt up.

My thoughts also. Looks like a new one for me.
So, anyone interested in a good running 4 cyl WesterBeke/Mitsubishi engine? Recent oil analysis was clear. Runs well.
